The official handover took place in front of the original painting.

The first people to see and feel the painting were in a group of visually impaired visitors who had booked in for the Touch Tours. 
When my work is seen and felt, it is always fun, often moving, and very rewarding.  Many other visitors gathered around and,
hopefully, this will be the beginning of a whole new adventure where people can be encouraged to touch, feel, and appreciate, paintings.
